^i would have to disagreee.
there are plenty of parts, as long as you are patient enough to search for them.
also depends on what kind performance you are looking for.

Try the classic approach; get a cold-air intake and possibly a custom cat-back exhaust system. That will greatly increase your throttle response and give it that extra kick.

nothing is wrong with an exhaust on a lexus with moderation. no straight pipe extremes like that. i have a nice dual out magnaflow, and it sounds excellent.

Work with the exhaust first. Doing intake work on it first won't do much and even after exhaust it needs to be done just right.
